Objective: to develop a criterion for normality/abnormality of the inferior vena cava diameter in children that is convenient to use in wide clinical practice. Material. In order to achieve the above objective, we performed measurements of the antero-posterior cross-section of the inferior vena cava in children (n = 100) in different age periods. Results. We have determined a criterion allowing of assessing the normality/abnormality of the inferior vena cava diameter in different age periods with sufficiently high accuracy. Conclusion. The work has concluded on the potential of the use of the coefficient reflecting the ratio of height and diameter (range — 0.04–0.1) as a reliable reference point for the assessment of the normality / abnormality of the inferior vena cava diameter in different age periods.
